 In 2001, after the creation of a series of struggling inline hockey leagues—Roller Hockey International, Pro Beach Hockey, and Major League Roller Hockey—a longtime inline hockey rink owner, Charley Yoder, and his sons CJ and Jami, had an idea of a professional league for about three years.After RHI started for its second time; and its chances didn't look good, Charles Yoder thought 'There's gotta be a way for it to work'.His sons, CJ and Jami, played in RHI, PBH and MLRH, and every league they played in had a list of things they did wrong so Charley and his sons put it down on paper.
